About this episode
Hector and Alicia explore the three dimensions of artificial intelligence in accounting: retail AI (like chatbots), API-based AI (integrated into software), and behind-the-scenes AI (machine learning and data insights). They discuss how AI is already transforming accounting workflows and make bold predictions for 2025, including the emergence of AI agents and potential disruption to QuickBooks' market dominance. The conversation delves into practical applications of AI for accountants, from generating custom sample files to automating complex tasks through always-on AI agents.
